Mother of Prevention

Mother of Prevention

Back of the Book

Moving to San Francisco offers Kate Madison a fresh start--just what Kate and her two daughters need after her firefighter husband's tragic death. A move out of Oklahoma City's tornado zone and snakes and...wait. Earthquakes? San Francisco has earthquakes!

Kate arrives to find not earthquakes but friends ready to help, from fun-loving neighbor Mazi to Lee, the advice-giving mailman. Maybe Lee's tips can help Kate with her mother-in-law, whose agenda seems to be less to support Kate than to take over. Then Kate discovers Mazi has a painful secret and forgets her own troubles as she takes on her friend's. An ounce of prevention may be worth a pound of cure, but Kate learns that friendship, family and faith are worth much, much more.

Lori Copeland's Bio

Lori Copeland never dreamed that she would be a writer. She never aspired to write, only to make people feel better about themselves. Then one day someone handed her a romance novel and said, "You should write a book." Lori thought they'd lost their mind, but eventually the idea took root and for her own personal pleasure (without the slightest thought of actually selling the book) she wrote her first secular romance, Playing for Keeps. God does have surprises up His sleeve. Unbelievable surprises. Within six weeks the book sold to Dell Publishing and she has been writing ever since. Lori spent 15 years in the secular market with publishers like Dell, Fawcett, Harlequin and Avon then moved to the Inspirational market when God opened the doors for her.

Often she is asked: "How many books have you published?" She stopped counting years ago—but certainly enough to be called "seasoned," "experienced" and "been around for a while." Lori loves her work; she loves her readers who have faithfully followed her from secular to inspiration to simply Lori Copeland books. Her continuing goal is to provide the reader with a smile and a chuckle, and a sizable dose of common sense whether it is inspirational or secular material. If you're one of her faithful readers, she thanks you. If you're new to her books, she welcomes you aboard! Lori hopes her stories will brighten your day and make you even more aware that it's good to be alive.
